Be careful, however.

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

I don't care if 99 of 100 homes in the area have K&T, I would NOT buy it and leave it with K&T anywhere.

Hi Anthony-You asked about the best ways to find off-market deals for your in-laws to buy and move into and you are focussed on the Santa Barbara, CA area which I have been to and it is gorgeous.It kind of reminds me of an Ann Arbor on the ocean. :)Anyway, I like your strategy of driving and looking for houses in need of repair and sending handwritten letters and contacting rentals for the reasons you gave.

Invelo is more of an all in one solution to finding, managing and moving off market sellers through the sales process with an emphasis on education and community.

My motley crew of salty dogs, I wanted to take care of them. 

If you both make 500k W2 in silicon valley, you can invest in either Chicago or Milwaukee - that's enough of an economic delta to justify the above.

- Go look carefully at the numbers and you'll see this.If you could acquire more rentals and they threw off $500 profit each/monthly, how many would you need to make a living?
